Dissociative Identity Disorder: What About Multiple Personalities?

Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID), formerly known as Multiple Personality Disorder (MPD) or Split Personality, is a challenge to even the most experienced clinician. Patients often experience confusion, fear, suspicion, anger, helplessness, and a myriad of other feelings. Proper diagnosis is often difficult, but the greatest difficulties come in the treatment phase.  The movies “Three Faces of Eve” (1957) and “Sybil” (1973) introduced the general population to the phenomenon of dissociation. The shocking exposé led some viewers to question their own sanity when periods of time were missing from their memories. Thus, there was a surge of the MPD diagnosis in the 80s and early 90s, when it was diagnosed too frequently.

Question by lisaaanoel: Can you tell me about your personal experiences with Celiac Disease?
I have read a lot of formal information on the internet, so I’m not looking for the “token celiac symptoms.” Instead, I was wondering for those of you who have been diagnosed, if you could tell me your personal experiences with it. I’m interested to know:

-What were your symptoms? Particularly your abdominal pain/discomfort. Where did you typically feel it? Was it constant?What type of pain was it? Did you experience a tightness in your abdomen or a pressure-like pain? Or was it more of a cramping pain?
-How about digestive issues?
-How often did you experience your symptoms?
-What was your diagnosis process like?
-Finally, how long after starting a gluten free diet did your stomach feel better?

Question by meow: Can you help me with my one sentence summary about this article?
Mickey Mantle played his way into the pantheon of baseball bods, and drank his way to the brink of death. So in today’s cynical debate over health-care priorities, Mick’s record drinking would drop him to the bottom of the list for a life-saving transplant. Chilling but ture. He’s over 60 and was an alcoholic for most of his life, a choice that helped make him as sick as he is today. Then there’s his age and hedical condition,which would put his chances at about 60 percent for surviving a liver transplant for five years or more.
The cynics would say Mick is a poor risk indeed. They are wrong.
Such a heartless and politicized point of view has gained strength ever since 1984, when former colorado governor Richard Lamm made the famous declaration that the terminally ill have a “duty to die and get out of the way. Let the others in society, our children, build a reasonable life.”he said. What kind of a reasonable life is it when politicians decide whether it is a good risk to save a human life?
But lamm had more to say on modern technogy, exactly the kind that could save Mickey Mantle. “How many hearts should we give to a smoker…how many liver transplants can we afford to give to an alcoholic,” he asked, implying that one was too many.
In Oregon, Lamm’s legacy lives on in something called the Oregon Health Plan, a “medical rationing” welfare program started in February 1994. The plan prioritizes 565 diseases and their treatments based on how effective the treatments are and how much they cost. Transplants for liver cancer patients are not funded.
Can we trust the politicians to do the right thing for the sickest and poorest among us? In Oregon, the health professionals decide what diseases and treatments go on the list and then a computer determines treatment priorities based on death rates and costs.
But the politicians decide how much money is spent.
No matter what the proponents say, the Oregon system rations people out of care simply by denying them medical services because some politician doesn’t like the survival odds or costs.
Fortunately, Mick won’t have to worry about getting a chance at a liver transplant. Get well, Mick, before the most cynical of the health-care reformers do us all in.

What Every Parent Should Know About Alcohol and the Teenage Brain

Some of the long-term effects of drinking at a young age include learning difficulties, memory loss, and addiction problems later on in life. These are only some of the associated problems that are currently, scientifically proven. It is time that parents and those in our community took a stand against alcohol use, and experimentation with our teenage children now, rather than later on down the track when the damage has already been done.

Heavy drug abuse is said to be the main concern of many parents, when it comes to addictive substances. Although research suggests that the largest percentage of drug related occurrences are the direct result of alcohol use, not hard drugs. Parents need to be aware that alcohol use among young teens is harmful, unacceptable, and is a dangerous substance among teenagers that needs our attention, rather than our tolerance.
